This is a wake up call to Public Transportation. Public Transportation needs to improve its service. If given a choice people will choose the cheapest/easiest/most convenient option. So public transportation needs to provide better service if it wants to out compete Uber/Ride Sharing. When I visit a city, I usually usually use public transportation. Many times, I found it counter intuitive. There is little to no convenience. Last time I was in NY the subway credit card machines were broken and you had to purchase your fares with cash. You were only allowed to buy in certain denominations. The trains arrived on different platforms than marked, because it was after 10pm. Fix those issues, before there is any talk of banning Uber/Ride Sharing.

My understanding is that salmonella is always around. To this day we periodically have outbreaks due to contamination. Why would it be more likely to have travelled to Mexico with domesticated animals brought by the Spanish rather than just come from the local environment? I have not seen any explanation of why it is more likely to have travelled to Mexico with domesticated animal.

Probably for IE compatibility. There was so much redundant code to maintain IE compatibility during those years.

When Comey was fired most of the media led that story with the claim that Comey was requesting more money for the Russia probe. That was false. Not only false, but that is not even how the budgeting for the probe works. It was drawn from the FBI budget, the person Comey would have had to ask for money for the probe was Comey. That he was asking for money was a major story mentioned over and over in the Wash Post and NY Times along with many others. It was used to explain why Trump fired Comey at that specific time, since the Russia probe was heating up. Then Rod Rosenstein testified before congress and said that the story was ridiculous. That was not how probes budget worked. After that you did not see retractions, but the story disappeared.

There was the list of Russian propaganda outfits who helped trump supplied by PropOrNot. There was the Russians Hacking the electrical grid. They linked that to Trump via the Trump Russia hacking angle. The was the WaPo Op-Ed claiming Trump’s OMB Pick was unqualified because he never served on Budget Committee, except he did. http://www.mediaite.com/online...

A return to table layouts was exactly what I was thinking. Funny that it is sold as a table layout better supports responsive design, since the reason tables layouts were phases out is that they were inflexible. Now table layouts are being sold as a fix to the difficulty of floating layouts. Everything that is old is new again.

When Trump made the claim that the election was rigged Politifact ruled it "Pants on Fire", because "Given the decentralized nature of our elections, there would be no single way to throw the results," said Richard Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Irvine. http://www.politifact.com/trut...

Hillary is the only Secretary of State who had a private email server.

It is a false claim that the information was "retroactively classified". It was classified at the time of sending and receiving. There was information that is always classified highly, information about methods and sources. Even Hillary does not make that claim that it was "retroactively classified" anymore. She says it was not marked at the time, which is a meaningless distinction. Classified information is about what the information is about not the markings. A number of people have been sentenced for information that was not marked. Leaking the name of Valerie Plame a CIA agent led to a long investigation with Scooter Libby going to prison. This information was not marked. David Petraeus was disgraced and sentenced to two years probation and fined $100,000 for having person journals of his time serving this country and sharing them with his biographer. I doubt his personal journals contained security markings. Many people thought he got off too easy. In summary, if Hillary was a regular person she would most likely be going to prison.

Really. This racist and sexist comment is (Score:3, Insightful). Why is race and sex even mentioned here?

People involved in politics have noticed that science can be used to help them advocate for changes they would like. There are many studies that are designed to provide a talking point rather than actually determine if something is really the case. This is unfortunate and leads people to trust science less because they see numerous instance where the science was politicized.

Way to muddy the waters. Palin used her official state email. She also used a yahoo email. It is illegal to use official email for campaigning tasks. So you have to have both. Someone hacked her yahoo account and release all her emails. She did not get to decide what was released. All of her emails were released she did not get to pick which ones were released. Hillary not only picked the emails that were released she carefully wiped the server with multiple writes to prevent anyone from being able to recover emails. If she had used yahoo the FBI which is investigating her emails activity (classified TS/SCI information) could have received a copy of all her emails.

Before citizen united we had news organization (corporations) that were allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money pushing a candidate. We still have news organizations pushing for there preferred candidate with no limits or reporting on the amount they spend. Do you even know what citizen united was about? They made a video that was critical of a candidate. Do you really want the government deciding which movies are too political and count as political speech?
